The purpose of the planned unit development ("PUD") district provisions is to provide a means of development that is flexible and innovative when development of a site by standard, more rigid, conventional zoning district regulations may produce less efficient use of the land and less amenities and benefits for the community and users of the development. Development under planned unit development provisions provides a means for encouraging ingenuity, imagination and flexibility on the part of landowners, engineers, architects, site planners and developers in the planning and design of land areas. It is not the intent of the planned unit development provisions to allow applicants to circumvent the intent of this Zoning Code or to allow development of land not in conformance with the Land Use Plan of the City.
